The dialog was using a LIB_ALIAS from library cache to show the symbol to the canvas without making a local copy.
Unfortunately, the library viewer is doing the same thing.
Now the GAL is used in Eeschema, a link to the VIEW used by the GAL canvas is stored in this class.
When The selector symbol dialog is used to choose a symbol to display in the Library viewer,
a race condition between the Library viewer GAL canvas and the dtor dialog that destroyed this link in the same instancied class.
Now, the SYMBOL_PREVIEW_WIDGET used in the dialog works on a local copy of the symbol to display.
Primary change is to replace most control/window borders with
AUI pane borders. We implement our own AUI border drawing
routine which avoids the ugly one-pixel white frames around
dark canvasses.
Also increases the signal-to-noise ratio of all the pane
creation code in the various frames.
Fixes a bunch of errors:
- libedit and libbrowser would zoom to bounding box but centre on canvas
- libedit, libbrowser and gerbview didn’t take the scroll bars into account
- pcbnew didn’t take scroll bars into account or apply the 10% margin
- appending a board file would re-centre, but not re-zoom

Handle exception in best zoom method when a symbol could not be loaded
from the symbol library table. This was triggered by an empty symbol
library table but could be triggered by any exception thrown while
loading the symbol.

Remove all instances of PART_LIBS and replace them with SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE
except for the CMP_TREE_MODEL_ADAPTER which requires updating as well.
Return the selected symbol using the LIB_NICKNAME:SYMBOL_NAME format when
viewer is launched as modal.
Add code to SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE object to allow enumerating symbol library
power symbols only.
Add a non-const version of LIB_TABLE::findRow().
Remove redundant information from Doxygen comments.
Due to library list repopulation on refresh, the unit was being
overwritten with 1. Now, we track whether the unit needs to be
overwritten.

bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it
being included by base_struct.h
Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and
many of those already included bitmaps.h themselves, or via
menu_helpers.h. However, touching bitmaps.h would result in over 400
rebuilt files for pcbnew alone.
This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.
Many classes in pcbnew and eeschema needed some functions moved
to the implementaitons from the headers too.
Select the first library in the list and the first symbol in the first
library if they exist the first time the symbol viewer is opened.
Prevent clicking on the next or previous toolbar buttons from wrapping
past the end of the symbol list to mimic the behavior of the up and down
arrow key strokes.opens a select
library dialog.
Use incriminating or decrementing the current symbol selection when using
the next and previous symbol toolbar buttons rather looking up the next
symbol in the library. Just use the next or previous symbol name in the
list.
Replace the select library and select symbol from library list dialogs
which where redundant with the symbol search dialog used in place symbol
tool in the schematic editor. This gives the user type ahead search and
selects the library and symbol in one dialog.
Move updating toolbar buttons from the ReCreateHToolbar() function into
dedicated wxUpdateUIEvents.
Break Process_Special_Functions() into individual event handlers.
Remove PART_LIB::GetNextEntry() and PART_LIB::GetPreviousEntry() as they
are no longer required due to the changes to the symbol library viewer.
Purge wxT() macros from all modified source files.
Rename PART_LIB GetEntryNames() and RemoveEntry() to GetAliasNames() and
RemoveAlias() respectively for improved readability.
Rename PART_LIBS FindLibraryEntry() to FindLibraryAlias() improved
readability.
Remove commented out PART_LIBS::FindLibraryEntries().
Remove PART_LIB::GetFirstEntry() and update all effect code accordingly.
Remove unused PART_LIB::SetFileName() method.
Remove unused PART_LIBS::RemoveAllLibraries() method.
- When the Kicad manager is iconized, all other child frames are iconized (normal wxWidgets behavior)
- For viewer frames in modal mode, there is a more annoying issue: they have the wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style on unix, and wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows.
wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is incorrect (although on most WM it works) because the parent frame (Kicad manager Frame) is not the caller. It is usually a main editor frame.
It does not work on Windows (wx STAY_ON_TOP is used).
* Now each editor frame has a null parent.
Therefore iconizing the Kicad manager frame does not iconize other frames.
* Viewer frames have null parent in normal mode and the caller parent in modal mode (therefore wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is always and correctly used)
* References to opened/closed main frames are no more managed by the (complicated) kicad code. Instead of, a non critical and more easy to understand code just uses FindWindowByName to know if a main window exists or not.
These changes do not fix all issues about Kicad frames brought to the foreground or the background, but it fixes a few issues, and AFAIK do not add other issues.
* fix minor coding style issues.
* remove unused member in modview_frame.
* use different frame names in ctor of modview_frame and viewlib_frame depending on the fact they are built modal or not modal (allowing identifications when calling wxFindWindowByName)
* change questionnable code in class_libentry.cpp.
* remove unused code in class_treeproject_item.cpp
Fix also an issue on Windows, when using the footprint viewer or the component viewer in modal mode:
Reason: these frames (when run under the Kicad manager) have the Kicad manager as parent, and were built with wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT style.
On windows, when the frame with style wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT is displayed its parent frame is brought to the foreground, on the top of the calling frame.
and stays displayed when closing the frame in modal mode.
This issue does not happen on unix so we use now wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows, and wxFRAME_FLOAT_ON_PARENT on unix to simulate a dialog called by ShowModal.
This is not perfect, but at least it works.
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
They are now member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
This change could fix Bug #1330781 (Background color change in Eeschema affects background color in Pcbnew)
Show page limits has meaning only for the schematic editor, the board editor and the page layout editor.
Draw background color selection exists only in eeschema and page layout editor.
In pcbnew, only a black background is allowed.
A side effect is now the user should set the background color in schematic editor, and the library editor (2 different options).
The default is still the white color.
*) KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is now a retained state, controlled by SetModal()
*) Fully re-work the KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() to use a nested event loop.
*) Add support to DIALOG_SHIM for a "quasi-modal" dialog presentation and mode.
See top of dialog_shim.cpp about that for benefits and need.
*) You can now pick footprint from the schematic component field dialog, although
if you do this before you open the BOARD, you will only get the global footprint
libraries, not also the project specific ones. Opening the BOARD first avoids this
problem.
This is the first example of cross KIFACE invocation, it is also the first
instance of using a TOP_FRAME other than FRAME_PCB as the first thing. It works,
but it's missing support for opening the project specific table because
historically the FRAME_PCB did that. This is now starting to expose all the near
term needs for KIWAY_PLAYER <-> PROJECT interaction, independence and out of
sequence usage.
A fix for this will be coming in a few days.
However it mostly starts to show why the KIWAY is terribly useful and important.
*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY. Now any major
frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
in the whole KIWAY. Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.
*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives. The function
KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.
*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.
*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
quickly. It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
relationships.
*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.
*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.
*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
modal wxFrame.
On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
*) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().
*) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.
*) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.
$ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/
Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us.
*) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.
*) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.
